I used to love pausing this game when Hiryu would flip in the air. It was so impressive on the Genesis back in 1990.

I used to play this in the arcade and i remember being really impressed with how close the genesis port was to the arcade version when it came out. Strider's sprite is even an improvement in some cases with added animations and his legs/proportions don't look as awkward.

Historical facts this game Sega Genesis version was rated the best console version it's released in 1990. Sega Genesis version is almost identical to the arcade. This blew my mind at 13. I played the arcade and Sega Genesis version. To me one of the best Sega Genesis games ever. Shadow Dancer is up there but Sega Genesis version wasn't like the arcade version for shadow Dancer.

I was both a child and very bad at games, so I had no idea how batfuck wild this game actually was. Neo-Russia, female chinese assassins, airships, mechawalkers, azteco-amazon boomerang huntresses, all serving an evil wizard... dude, this is awesome "THEY CAME FROM THE THIRD MOON WITH ANCIENT MONSTERS" real gemini home entertainment material here, omg

The idea of gravity in this game was brilliant

I remember loving the music in this game and hearing it again is taking me back, wow

the sound effects of this game have been hard coded into my DNA. xD

My friend had this game and we would often play it. However we could never get past that 3rd level crusher because we could not figure out that you must jump from wall to wall to make it to the top in time. We were dumb kids.

Me and my brother begged my older sister to by this game for us every for like 3 weeks straight. The coolest thing about this game was that the jump flips were actually animated and not balled up in a small ball

What an amazing looking game! Esp for 1989! Sega was truly an amazing system! Just bought one today! Haven't owned one since I was 15, in 2003 😱

@@moronpaul i remember Sega bragging out Strider being 1 megabyte I just got confused about if Sega claimed one megabyte or 8 megabits ?

I was so proud of myself once I had mastered the 3rd Moon level's antigravity location, especially the section with the moving spikes, navigating the place upside down, and then getting into the chamber with the giant floating mechanical ball-shaped weapon. I must have died on those spikes dozens of times before I got used to inching along to just the right positions to avoid a stabbing. The great music only added to the excitement. Fond memories.

BRUH!! 😂

Best song in the game is the stage 04b (the dinosaur part) i always loved that one and the fact they used it for the ending credits makes it all more perfect.

Besides bringing my childhood memories back; I could finally learn how to play through the last level. As a kid I could never get so.

I think of this as a enhanced port. Not graphically or speed wise, but several changes were made to better suit the game: different stage audio/ a better ending. Is it arcade perfect: no. Does it need to be, not in this case. You get a great strider experience minus some annoying audio in between stages (voice clips over the top of each other) and a repeat sound track as well.

Fantastic run!!

My goodness this game was so ambitious...the port was amazing considering the tech at the time. Way ahead of it's time. Easily one of the most imaginative platformers in the pre-polygon era.

Glad to finally see the ending. As a kid I never got further than the Amazon style level.

This uses some of the audio cues from the x68000 version. (i.e. stage intros to Balrog/Amazon/Third Moon), along with the ending BGM. Interesting!

Its vise versa, but correct!

The sequel on Xbox was something, got a Metroid prime vibe to it but I enjoyed it.

Good longplay. I love this game, it's a good conversion of the arcade. But it's hard, there are not enough continues (at least in the Japanese version, I don't know the others). I tried to beat the game a few months ago, but I couldn't go further than the 3rd level... I should try again.

Did anyone start to watch this after the last events in Kazakhstan? The laugh of the Dark Lord is the best part!

9:47 16:43 that's so cool.

Very 'Dune like' the design concept, now that I see it with grown eyes in 2024.

Great conversion! The Arcade original was groundbreaking. The Commodore 64 conversion was a bit of a disappointment.

“Packabu done it!” “Spaghetti!” or “Forget it!” That what they’re saying

this game was hard. I've probably threw my controller and turned off the g'damn console more times than I'd like to unveil, probably looked like a fool but that's how frustrating it was getting to the bio chamber and being thrown into the cover structure and being smashed to bits, almost sadistic on the designers laughing at those who couldn't get past that part

Came for the sound effects. 2017 strider disappointed me in that dept.

As a kid playing streets of rage this game used to scare me for some reason id play it get so far and just be kinda scared. Even the sound effects and sound track. Fuck knows why 😂 the snow level with the 🦍 i think was the furthest i got

The audio is very uncanny. It doesn’t sound right, even the arcade version just kinda sounds like a debug

To be honest quite a farcry from the sequel, but what can you say when there's a decade of a gap apart between them.
